Third Time's A Charm.

Michael meets AJ at the Quartermaine's and confirms he had sex with Brenda. AJ asks about Starr. Michael shares Starr called stating they're over. AJ thinks he's free, only Brenda has to worry about Jax. AJ compliments him for sleeping with a gorgeous model. He asks if Michael told Sonny yet. Michael doesn't want to hurt him. AJ seems happy that Carly and Sonny might get what they deserve, he's only sorry he doesn't get to tell Sonny himself. Michael gets what happened off his chest, from them consoling each other to guessing he had sex. AJ asks, "You guess?"

Carly offers to strangle Brenda with Michael's bowtie at the Metro Court. Brenda says she'll return it herself then and Carly protests. Brenda thinks Carly should pay attention to the details, like Michael getting dumped the night before. She gloats that she consoled Michael. A fight ensues and they need to be separated by security. Carly demands to be put down and tells Brenda she crossed a line. She threatens to call Sonny but decides not to torture him with Dante missing.

Olivia and Sonny go to the Falconeri's. Olivia rushes to a disorientated Dante. He says he wasn't able to save her. A voice calls her out of her vision. She apologizes to the cop she's hugging. She tells Sonny she saw Dante and he couldn't save Lulu. Sonny doesn't want her to jump to conclusions. Olivia asks him to distract her. She wants him to tell her about Carly and Brenda. Sonny confides about Brenda visiting him and Carly eavesdropping. Olivia hopes Sonny showed her the door and asks if Kate or Connie has anything to worry about. Sonny says he is committed to Kate and Connie. They decide they will go crazy waiting for news and Sonny takes Olivia away.

At GH Nikolas says his father has Lulu. Elizabeth thinks he's confused. Alexis tells Nikolas he needs rest and when he wakes up things will make sense. Nikolas explains he is making sense, Stavros is alive. He reminds Alexis how he helped Robert Scorpio, angering Helena. He went to Greece to appease his grandmother and found out she was hiding something. He stumbled across his father in a locked room. Helena recounts how she saved Stavros and tells Nikolas someday he will come back healthier and stronger than ever. Nikolas asked him one day what he was doing. Stavros mumbles something about his princess. Nikolas finds out Stavros saw Lulu in Turkey rescuing Luke and thought she was Laura. Nik tried to reason with Stavros and showed him pictures of Laura and Lulu together. Stavros knocked Nik out and disappeared. Helena caught Nikolas calling Lucky and ended up kidnapping Ethan. Nik reminds Alexis that Dante is now a rival of Stavros.

On Cassadine Island Luke and Laura are shocked when Stavros Cassadine enters the room. Stavros says he is back and better than ever as Luke and Laura stare on in disbelief. He's hurt by Laura's disdain and rejection at seeing him and tells the couple, "Reports of all of our deaths have been greatly exaggerated at one point or another." Luke grabs Stavros holding a dinner knife to his neck reminding him, "You've cheated death twice, now the third time's a charm." Laura stops Luke from stabbing him so they can find Lulu. Luke throws the knife down. Laura begs Stavros to tell them where Lulu is. He promises to share every last detail, but first they will dine. They don't eat and Stavros tells him a Cassadine wouldn't poison a guest. He reminds Laura he wouldn't harm her and they are a family. Laura starts offering to stay with him if that's what he wants. Luke tells her not to negotiate anything. Stavros rejects her, saying he's given up their future to hold onto their past. He adds, "Besides, I've met someone else, Lulu my princess." He tells them not to get the wrong idea; he's just been courting Lulu since he sent the Ice Princess. Stavros is pleased with the second gift he sent Lulu, the bear. He admits to shooting Nikolas but thinks Helena fed Dante to the sharks. Luke boasts eliminating Helena from his family's life. Stavros states he is taking care of his mother the same way she took care of him. He is putting her on ice, just like he did to his new ice princess.

In a secret location Dante knocks out one of his capturers and starts to make his way around eliminating others. He gains access to a private room filled with technical equipment. He finds Helena's body under a sheet with a cold icy stare. Dante backs away from her into a door and peers through its icy window. He utters, "Lulu?"

Hello Everyone,

Wow! Michael and Brenda, now that's pretty soapy if you ask me! But, I'm still disgusted now that we've gotten it confirmed that they did sleep together. Eww! I can't entirely blame Michael though, but Brenda? Come on! I'm sure Brenda being that famous model that she is, has had lots of guys swooning over her, but to act like it's not a big deal that she had slept with Michael is just wrong! I guess, the plus is, we got a nice mean, down and dirty cat fightbetween her and Carly! I always love it when we get some nasty fights with girls on the show.

Wow! So, Stavros has been alive, and I guess, I'm right about Helena. Should have known it would have been too easy to kill her. So, is Lulu his frozen princess? Elizabeth, I know it sounds crazy, but come on! Nikolas is telling the truth here! Glad to also see that so far, it appears that Lucky's family has remained in contact with him. I wonder why then, Helena decided to have Ethan kidnapped instead of trying to go find Lucky knowing that Nikolas had called him? I'm really looking forward to all the twists and turns that we've been getting for this Cassidine story.

I hope that everyone's having a good day and will post as I read comments!

Casey - I'd love to see Robert wake up and return to PC or take a trip to Cassadine Island on his way home.

Spot-on comment about AJ "engaging in mental masturbation imagining himself in his son's place", though I think that would betray a death wish on his part, because Carly would have *gleefully* run off to tell Sonny just because she knows Sonny would almost certainly kill AJ for it.

I have to say, I'm really enjoying the fact that Cartini are making the effort to repair plot holes and flat-out awful stories in the past few weeks. Today was just the biggest example of that, weaving in Stavros' recent days with events we saw happen and thought little of at the time (like Nik informing on Faison being alive) and events that left some of us scratching our heads (like why Helena would fake a DNA test for anything other than to be randomly spiteful to L&L2).

I read online that people were irritated that more wasn't made of Rick Webber's denial of the whole attic-murder storyline, but I thought it was already established that Scotty had actually been the one to do that. I'm confused as to what the hell happened there...can anyone fill me in?

Lily- - I think Brenda would be an excellent trade for Lulu- after all she owes Dante, and would probably appreciate being kept on ice... AJ was acting like a teenage boy when Michael told him about sleeping with Brenda, what a loser, I was almost expecting AJ to ask if Michael could hook him with one of her “model friends” Nothing like dad cheering on his son when it’s obvious that the consequences could be devastating to Michael. Maybe AJ will get lucky and Brenda will do him a “favor”

***SPOILER TALK*** *********************** *********************** ************************ If McBat has to come back, I would prefer it be a different character. I know it’s going to be nauseating to endure “you look familiar” or “Don’t I know you” they have really mad a mess.

poodles - I was thinking today when Brenda was taunting Carly and finally delivered the karma line, that someday Joslyn will be the supermodel that ends up in bed with Brenda's son Alec.

Risa: I'm not on anyone's "team"; I like all the characters and how they form an interconnected tapestry together. So I can be objective when I say that Brenda was wrong for drugging Michael, if she did actually do it.

All the clues point to her doing so, which I find even more heinous than the two of them just getting drunk and falling into bed together. At least that would've been unplanned. To drug the kid of your great love, for any reason, shows both some sort of planning on her part (or Brenda routinely keeps GHB around) and a serious need for moral realignment.

If she didn't sleep with Michael, she drugged him and staged it to make it look like she did. There's no other explanation, given her almost-confessions, her amusement at what should've been a horrifying situation (especially if Brenda had stopped for two seconds to think about how Sonny would react), and her continued baiting of Carly. This is what Brenda wants people to think, remember, because she didn't even tell Michael the truth when they were alone. This says that Brenda is committed to the lie, which suggests to me that she's more than capable of slipping Michael a roofie.

But we'll see, I suppose.

Hey Monkey,

I agree with ya on Brenda, and I think I'm starting to like Quiz too! SK is making me like AJ, and I think he's working hard at redeeming himself. Brenda on the other hand, I'm really starting to dislike her now more than ever andI use to love her!

The fact that she doesnt' evencare that Sonny finding out that she did sleep with Michael would hurt him, is just awful! Part of me can understand where she'd want to hurt Carly but Sonny? And, to do it with Michael of all people who is about half her age? Please! At least, Michael's trying to peace this together, and is showing concern for his parents.

I hear what you're saying about Luke and Laura, but I think they're not saying that they can't be happy on the soap,but they're saying that if they were to remain happy forever, the story would end. Nobody's ever completely happy for long on soaps. Look at all they've had to go through? I'm still hopeful for a reunion, but I think they need to take their time with it. They haven't even had a moment together to process what's going on alone.

Lily- LOL- that would be karma, though I think Joslyn might be to good for Balken jr.
